KAITO, the Piapro Characters virtual singer, currently appears across merchandise and game releases: a Steam DLC for the Desktop Mate mascot platform launched July 9, 2026, and a 1/7 scale PRISMA WING figure is on pre-order for an August 2027 release. No new music or concert releases are covered in the provided stories.
Coverage of KAITO in the current cluster is dominated by merchandise rather than music. Prime 1 Studio's PRISMA WING line announced a 1/7 scale figure of KAITO based on an illustration by artist lack, priced at 32,890 yen and open for pre-order at Kadostore until July 9, 2026, with a scheduled release in August 2027. The figure continues the PRISMA WING line's collaboration with lack and its hexagonal base design.
The most recent KAITO-specific story concerns software. Infinite Loop announced on July 2, 2026 that Desktop Mate DLC for both MEIKO and KAITO would launch simultaneously on July 9, 2026, priced at 2,200 yen each and available on Steam. The DLC includes newly produced 3D models supervised by Crypton Future Media, plus original motions and voices for the desktop mascot platform. KAITO's motions include singing gestures, striking poses, eating ice cream, and leaving with a gentlemanly bow. With the pair's release, all six Piapro Characters are available in Desktop Mate, joining earlier DLC for Hatsune Miku, Sanrio Characters, and Kizuna AI. The base Desktop Mate software is free.
Separately, KAITO appears in the Detective Conan merchandise market under the name Kaito Kid. Bandai's Q posket Miniature Collection gashapon, due in the fifth week of August 2026, includes Edogawa Conan, Toru Amuro, Shuichi Akai, and Kaito Kid at 500 yen per capsule. Sega Fave's Petite World Memories line adds Rei Furuya, Hiroshi Morofushi, and Kaito Kid as prize figures from June 12, 2026. These are separate characters and separate product lines from the Piapro virtual singer.
